Carb for 316 Auto

Sat May 16, 2009 1:59 am

Hi Guys, was looking at getting hold of a weber carb conversion for a 316 auto, was wondering where I can get a carb that has the linkage for the kickdown, if this isnt possible then is it ok to use one without the kickdown linkage and how much will this decrease the performance if it all? and what benefits can i see having one with the kickdown?, is there any manufacturers that anyone knows of that sells the carbs for auto e30s new, or does a zoner on here have a second hand one they are willing to sell me?, ideally i am looking for one with the kickdown linkage and manual choke to replace the pierburg as this is giving me problems when running the car from cold and since the car is my daily runner it is not ideal and want to get this sorted asap, as i have to travel up to gatwick each day

your help would be much appreciated

Kind regards

Will

Check out ebay - think his shop is called fastroadcar. I bought my weber from him and got a great deal. Not sure about the auto aspect, but i'm sure he'll be able to assist you if you call him. Contact details are on ebay.

This is the complete kit I bought and it's transformed my car.
Best of luck!
